MCP File Manager — File System Operations for AI Agents
An MCP server that gives AI agents file system access: read, write, search, hash, directory trees — 12 tools, zero dependencies, pure Python stdlib.
Features
12 MCP Tools:
read_file,read_file_lines,write_file,append_file,delete_file,copy_file,move_file,list_directory,search_files,file_info,file_hash,directory_treeZero dependencies — pure Python stdlib (os, shutil, hashlib, fnmatch, pathlib)
Content search — grep-like search inside files (20+ file extensions)
File hashing — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512
Directory trees — recursive tree generation with depth control
STDIO JSON-RPC mode — drop-in for Claude Desktop, Hermes, or any MCP client

Quick Start
python -m src.server --stdio # STDIO mode
python -m src.server --manifest # Print manifestUse as a library
from src.server import MCPFileManagerServer
import json
server = MCPFileManagerServer()
# Write a file
server.handle_tool_call("write_file", {"path": "/tmp/test.txt", "content": "Hello!"})
# Read it back
result = json.loads(server.handle_tool_call("read_file", {"path": "/tmp/test.txt"}))
print(result["content"]) # "Hello!"
# Search for files
result = server.handle_tool_call("search_files", {"path": ".", "pattern": "*.py", "target": "files"})
# Search inside files (grep)
result = server.handle_tool_call("search_files", {"path": ".", "pattern": "TODO", "target": "content"})
# Get file hash
result = server.handle_tool_call("file_hash", {"path": "/tmp/test.txt", "algorithm": "sha256"})
# Directory tree
result = server.handle_tool_call("directory_tree", {"path": ".", "max_depth": 3})MCP Tool Reference
